INTRODUCTION

The SAIATU Foundation calls and organizes the XXI edition of the PARACYCLING BIRA to be held in Bizkaia on June 29th and 30th, 2019.

The BIRA is the most veteran race on the international cycling calendar. From 1997 until the 2016 edition, which was considered by UCI, the World Cup, it was uninterruptedly carried out annually. After not having been summoned in the last two years, Saiatu wants to put BIRA back on the calendar of the international peloton.

The format of the test, the fact that it is open to all disability categories and the sporting and competitive environment of it, has given it a prestige that not only makes the UCI consider it a scoring test for the 2019 ranking, but also a meeting place for the best of world para-cycling.

The fact that we have been able to celebrate 20th editions of the BIRA is a mark of seriousness that is always welcomed by the athletes, who find in this event a point indicated in their competition planning.

The 2019 edition is faced with the same enthusiasm and desire as in previous years for the trials to be of interest to athletes, teams and teams. MODALITIES.
